 While using an old laptop with Synaptics touchpad of 5.9 version, i found,
 that the device is not get detected by Haiku. After digging in, i found
 few independent problems:

 [1] probe_trackpoint() (IBM Trackpoint detection) messes synaptics probing
 (i.e. after messup, you're getting all 0x90 for all of minver, devid and
 majver, while it's a value for minver only. Right data gets later and
 catches by ps2_dev intr handler (gets dropped of course)). So,
 ps2_reset_mouse() after trackpoint probing fixes the problem. I suppose
 that any other device probing before synaptics detection will be painful.

 [2] With my synaptics device, a small delay (after any of
 ps2_reset_mouse()) required, before touchpad can return correct data back
 to you.
